R33 Tps?

[NYTSKY]

Im having some issuse regarding my idle.It hunts between 1100 and 1600rpm.Ive tried many things to fix it.New plugs,cleaning the ACC but nothing seems to work.Some people have said it might be my TPS(throttle position sensor)

How do i get it reset?

Help me solve my problem as its been like this for 2 weeks now and is driving me crazy.

CHEERS

The TPS is your throttle position sensor. Im not quite sure what you mean by does this mean i dont have a throttle cable? Because of cause it has a throttle cable going to the throttlebody to open and close the butterfly. The tps is used to monitor the postion of the throttle. Take the TPS off and give the end a clean its possible that it could be giving you grief. Have you tried cleaning your AFM aswell?

Havent cleaned the air flow meter yet.

what should i clean it with? carbi cleaner?

[dead32]

afm clean: use electrical contact cleaner... p.s i wouldnt be pulling the tps off, its set to a specific point, very important it stays there unless you mark it perfectly. tried cleaning your throttle body? for that you can use carby clean. also tried resetting your ecu?

[NYTSKY]

Running Power FC.If i dont have elec contact cleaner can i use carbi cleaner?

[The Dan]

Contact cleaner is better but you can use carbi cleaner. However, if you had the choice between carbi clean and brake clean...you would use the brake clean.

[NYTSKY]

i got carbi cleaner and degeaser thats it.

Your car....do as you like. The suggestions have been made.

[NYTSKY]

OK ive pulled the AFM off and found that there is a film of oil all around the inside of it.Seeing as its oil i cleaned it out with degreaser and is drying in the sun.will fit it in 10 and tell you the verdict.

[NYTSKY]

OK that didnt work

But the AFM was making a small click noise when the reached 1600 then drops to 1100 then back up again"click" back down to 1100??????

[NYTSKY]

And the oil??

Im assuming its coming from the turbo when it flutters?

[MBS206]

The oil will be from your air filter if it's oil based.

Go and get some electrical contact cleaner. Do the AFM with electrical contact cleaner. Then clean the AAC valve with carby cleaner.

[NYTSKY]

Nah i use apexi pods.So no oil.I think its a bit of blow by.As you see in my thread i have already cleaned the ACC with no results.

[justin911]

if you've got a pfc.. and u adjust the tps do you need to get it retuned or anything specific ??

[MBS206]

How the hell are you getting blow by, if there is no point for the engine to dump oil into before the air flow meter?

It goes, POD filter, AFM, normally then recirc line pretty close in (From BOV), then turbo...

I don't understand how you claim blow by as the cause?

When you cleaned the air valve, did it have a HEAP of crap built up in it? (Black carbon) and when you finished did it all look nice and new?

[NYTSKY]

yep heaps of carbon,when finished looked nice and shiney.After the acc clean the idle went even higher in the cold start part of its function.

The rocker cover breathers plumb back into the intake pipe in front of the turbo. It doesn't dump it in before the AFM it just gets a residue there and the oil builds up to a pool. I have removed a few intake pipes that have a good 20-30ml of oil in them when the turbo has been completely fine.

And has it been built up in the AFM...

Remember, the air is being sucked from air filter, to afm, to breather pipe, to turbo...

It's not going backwards.

And the AFM sits higher then where the breather pipes join, so it can't "run" there when cold.

When the turbo reverts air, it bounces back and forth between the air filter and compressor wheel. This is how it gets there.
